Pokemon: Silent Rain and the Mythical Beast

On a drizzly day in the Unova Region, ten-year-old An Qingci begins his journey. He's not a typical hot-blooded Trainer. He's cold and distant, avoids socializing, and mostly meets the world with an attitude of “whatever.” Sometimes he's full of energy; other times, even eating feels like too much trouble. He hides a tendency to occasionally hurt himself and is afraid of darkness and fire, yet he secretly loves all things cute and builds himself a safe haven out of the sound of rain and novels.

His first Pokemon is just as unusual: a shy, scarred Zorua. They don't meet in a burst of passion. It's more like two souls in a corner recognizing each other.

The only “abnormal” thing about An Qingci is a strange System that calls itself the “Voice of the World.” It has no great power, granting him only the ability to understand what Pokemon are thinking, along with a little “trouble”: random encounters with Pokemon from other regions and even brief transmigration through space. This ability has nothing to do with becoming the strongest. Instead, it's like a series of unexpected windows, casting mottled light into his gray world.

He may still hate exercise, still suffer from insomnia, and still hurt himself from time to time, but little by little, he'll learn to eat regular meals. He'll write stories that aren't exactly heartwarming but is willing to share. He'll make friends, and one rainy night, he'll discover that a warm Pokemon has joined the others by his side, each one willing to come closer to him.
